So yesterday I was in a value village and I see a camera bag sitting at the front counter, upon inspection it was a full kit with a minolta maxxum 5000, 4 lens, flash, filters, and manuals.

I’ve heard people throw the term plastic fantastic around here and there but never really heard it reference actual models, this is a plastic body camera and feels just as solid as my older slr cameras.

So would this be one of these plastic fantastic models or no?

    They are plastic, but also fantastic.

    My LCS owner and I messed around with a 7000 recently and it was a pleasure to use, the lenses are good, only problem is the batteries exploded in the grip and broke the camera after about half an hour of testing, so I didn’t buy it lol.

    Take from that what you will, but I’ve seen others work perfectly fine too.
